No Part of Ogun Will Be Left Behind in Development – Abiodun

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring that every part of the state benefits from ongoing infrastructural development projects.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, the governor said the state government is currently working on four major highways across Ifo, Sango Ota, and Idiroko, to improve road connectivity and ease transportation.

He dismissed claims that some areas had been neglected, describing such allegations as mischievous and politically motivated. According to him, the administration has a comprehensive plan to deliver the dividends of democracy across all three senatorial districts, including road projects in the Lafenwa–Itele–Ayetoro axis.

Akinmade explained that the state government is rehabilitating the 140-kilometre Abeokuta–Lagos Expressway, a federal road, while also handling the construction of the Sango–Idiroko Road, where about 22 kilometres have already been completed between Ijoko, Agbado, and Alagbole.

He highlighted several completed projects in the Ifo–Ado Odo–Ota axis, including:

Ikorita Meta, Adenrele/Olose Titus Vespa Road (3.1 km)

Old Bank Road – Orita Meta – Coker Junction

Olumo Spur Road (1 km)

Olusegun Osoba, Toyin, Agbado Road (2.4 km)

Sango Ota – Oke Aro – Ojodu Abiodun Road (Phase 1: 8.5 km; Phase 6: 1.6 km)

Akute–Denro–Ishasi Road (4.8 km)

Alhaji Kosoko Street, Ojodu Abiodun (1 km)

Ajulo–Akute Road (3 km)

Hercules–Giwa Road (1.3 km)

Alagbole–Ajulo Road (1.7 km)

Akute Bridge–Oke Aro Bridge (9.2 km)

Atan–Lusada–Marogbo Toll Road (19.2 km)

Lafenwa–Osi, Ikola Road, and the 7 km Bible College Road, Ota (3.89 km).


Akinmade urged residents to be wary of opposition elements seeking to mislead the public, noting that the Abiodun-led government remains open to scrutiny and determined to run a transparent, people-focused administration.

He stressed that many of the roads now under reconstruction had been in poor condition for years before Governor Abiodun assumed office in 2019. “The current administration inherited a massive infrastructure deficit but has since taken bold steps to change the narrative,” he said.

Akinmade revealed that three of the four major roads in the Sango–Ota axis — Sango–Ijoko–Agbado–Oke Aro–Lambe–Akute, Sango Ota–Papalanto–Abeokuta, and Sango–Idiroko — are already under reconstruction, while the Ota–Itele–Lafenwa Road has been included in the 2026 budget.

He assured residents that despite weather-related delays, progress on these projects remains steady. “Governor Abiodun is committed to working tirelessly until the last day of his tenure. No community in Ogun State will be left out of the ongoing transformation,” he said.

Highlighting the state’s recent achievements, Akinmade added: “With projects such as the world-class Gateway International Airport, a global standard sports complex, and the largest cement factory in West Africa, Ogun State is fast emerging as a model of development. We must not allow the distractions of political detractors to overshadow these successes.”
